Affiliate North takes place on October 17, 2025, at Manchester Hall in Manchester, UK, and is set to be the largest affiliate and performance marketing gathering in the North.

Organized by the team behind Affiliate Gathering, the event brings together affiliates, brands, publishers, agencies, influencers, content creators, and technology providers for a full day of education and networking.

With over 250 delegates expected, the conference features more than 20 sessions across two tracks of content.

The agenda explores key themes shaping the future of affiliate and performance marketing. Topics include AI-driven performance strategies, SEO and content planning for 2025/26, social commerce and influencer marketing, tracking and attribution, B2B affiliate opportunities, agency roles, and alternative traffic and revenue models.

Sessions combine forward-looking insights with practical case studies designed to help attendees grow and scale.

Networking is central to the event, with structured opportunities to connect throughout the day. Delegates can meet directly with speakers and industry leaders, share ideas during coffee and lunch breaks, and continue conversations at the post-event drinks reception.

The venue, Manchester Hall, offers a striking city-centre setting complete with terrace views, making it both a professional and social hub for the day.

With its combination of actionable insights, a strong speaker lineup, and direct access to decision-makers, Affiliate North provides a concentrated opportunity for affiliates and marketers to deepen their knowledge while building valuable industry connections.
